Residents of the Cotswolds say the idyllic region's peace is under threat after the district council unveiled plans to build 19,000 new homes.Cotswold District councillors will meet on Monday to begin the process of agreeing a new local plan that villagers say will 'reshape' some of Britain's most picturesque places – doubling and even tripling some in size by building on vacant land.Moreton-in-Marsh – home to Dame Prue Leith and DJ Calvin Harris – could have 2,217 houses built under the proposals, while Cirencester could grow by as many as 3,717 properties.Other communities set to suffer include Down Ampney (1,658), Preston (1,368), Mickleton (1,238), Fairford (1,141) Kemble (1,020) and Siddington (372) – home to Changing Rooms star Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.The new blueprint for the 18,900 homes will see a massive expansion of communities over two decades by 2043, with new schools, transport links, health centres and other infrastructure factored in.It forms part of Labour's national housing drive to build 1.5million new homes during this parliament, which includes mandatory council house-building targets.But some locals are angry – and are even threatening to leave over the 'horrifying' proposals, claiming it will turn villages into packed towns.Annett and Andrew Stevens, of campaign group Moreton Against Overdevelopment, have lived in Moreton-in-Marsh all of their lives, and object to the plans to build homes in fields to the south and east of the market town, population 5,000.
